I absolutely LOVE war movies. WW2 is overdone in my opinion, so I stray more to Vietnam. I love that war. But I cant help but admit there are some darn good WW2 movies also. A few great war movies I would recommend are...
Saving Private Ryan - because this is the best movie of all time. I really Love this one. It stars Tom Hanks, who is one of my favorite actors.
Hart's War - This is a great and touching movie about some American POWs captured by Nazis. Its got that guy from Die Hard that I cant remember the name of.
Pearl Harbor - This is simply amazing and I almost cried at the end. Its more about these two best friends than Pearl Harbor, but that event is in there and its amazing, plus it shows the brothers as they are in the aerial counter-attack against Japan on their own soil
Cold Mountain - This takes place around the Civil War era, but its not really about that. Its more about the story of this guy and his used to be wife if I remember correctly. Either way, I like this one too.
We Were Soldiers - Dear GOD! I love this one. Its the Vietnam war and this really shows how the Viet Cong used shifty night ops and underground tunnels to terrorize the US insurgents both physically and mentally. I love the loyalty of their commanding officer, refusing to leave the ground until all his troops leave first, dead or alive. I seriously advocate this movie for anyone who slightly likes a war movie. Its amazing!
There are dozens of great movies out there for war, but these are a few that pop into my head. If anyone has one I may not have seen, I'm always in the mood to watch a good war movie, any war is good.
Just to keep on the Furry side of things...
Marley and Me is a good film, and I did cry at the end of that one.
